During the past forty years of spacecraft exploration of the
solar system, geomorphology has become an extraterrestrial
science. Spacecraft missions to other planetary bodies
continue to provide surface data at unprecedented resolutions,
which in some cases are higher than the resolution of data for Earth.
Several countries have recent, ongoing, or planned missions to investigate
the surface of the moon. Cameras in orbit around Mars are
providing images at a variety of wavelengths with coverage over significant
proportions of the planet at resolutions down to meters per
pixel. The MESSENGER mission in orbit at Mercury is returning
data of novel tectonic and volcanic morphologies. And in the outer
solar system, instruments on the Cassini spacecraft are showing
that, despite their exotic materials, Titan and other Saturnian satellites
have Earth-like surface morphologies. Myriad other missions
to other terrestrial planetary bodies are also planned or ongoing.

By providing for substantial investigation of and trenchant comparison
among the landforms of geologic bodies in our solar system,
these data represent a new era in geomorphology.

The 2014 Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium (BGS) will
support new scientific collaborations between and discoveries by
the terrestrial and planetary geomorphology communities through
presentation of planetary geomorphologic features and their terrestrial
analogs. Investigations using spacecraft data, terrestrial
field work, numerical modeling, and experimental results will be
presented. The symposium will feature invited oral presentations
highlighting comparisons between terrestrial and extraterrestrial
processes and landscapes. Poster contributions are also welcome.
